Oldenburg Vineyards

Stellenbosch reds: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah with critical recognition.

Oldenburg Vineyards sits in Stellenbosch, the heart of South Africa's Coastal Region, where maritime influence and mountain terrain shape wines of structure and depth. The winery's portfolio centers on Bordeaux varieties and Syrah, with Rondekop Rhodium—a Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend—at its core. This wine has drawn attention from Decanter, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff. A varietal Syrah and single Cabernet Franc round out the range, each reflecting the region's capacity for dark fruit intensity and fine tannin. Stellenbosch's gravelly soils and cool nights favor these grapes, allowing for ripe expression without excess alcohol. The wines show the precision and balance that define serious South African red winemaking.
